3D Bioinorganic Flashcards
Catalytic oxidation requires
Vacancy and redox activity
Oxygen transport requires
Vacancy at central atom
Does catalysis of non redox reaction require redox activity
No
Does electron transfer require vacancy
No
Electron transfer requires
Redox activity
Inner sphere
Electron transfer between covalently connected metals
Outer sphere
Electron transfer through space
Physical properties that are size dependent
Color, magnetism, melting point
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
Precise shape, desolvated size as solid
Dynamic light scattering (DLS)
No shape (approximation for spheres), investigation in solution (solvated)
